I always enjoy visiting this lovely space. It’s so welcoming and I love that you can take your dog and enjoy the delicious cakes and browse all the doggy stuff and gifts. Such a great asset for the local community with lots of events being held here. I particularly enjoy the Marketing Hub held every week, which has been so beneficial for me ❤️

Been to this amazing Cafe lots of times but never left a review. We absolutely love this place ! My dog goes crazy for the dog biscuits and ice cream. We love the coffee cakes and the sandwiches look so good. It’s really important to support these local independents as the town will be a quiet place without them.

The most amazing and welcoming space I've ever had the pleasure of entering and being a part of. The owner, Jenny, is a pioneer in supporting artists, creators, and makers, as well as offering a safe space for hosting events and championing eco products for dogs. A gorgeous selection of cakes and savouries, and now sandwiches! As well as THE best hot chocolate I've ever had. A true hub for the community of Gillingham, which I couldn't imagine it without.

Such a wonderful and special place. Can’t wait to visit again soon with one, two or three of my dogs. My darlings adored the dog treats and toys I brought home.

Coffee & Canines is a really lovely, friendly coffee shop. You're made to feel welcome even without a dog. There are plenty of drinks to choose from, both hot and cold, as well as sandwiches and the most delicious cakes, including seasonal themed cakes like the one in the photo!! It has the most wonderful atmosphere. I now wouldn't go anywhere else in Gillingham. Thank you, Coffee and Canones, for all that you provide.

A normal Costa - service not the fastest. Only went here because my son came out without his epi pen. Otherwise would have tried Kaffe over the road as it smelt amazing as we walked past. Or Coffee and Canines which is near and fab.

A lovely place to come and grab a coffee. I’ve only been a couple of times and taken away both times but the coffee has been excellent. I always ask for half the shots of coffee and it’s never too much bother. Staff are friendly and good at acknowledging my child too which makes her happy. They also always ask if you have the Costa app which is handy as I would forgot to collect my rewards else. The Maple Hazel Latte is a new firm favourite too! Will have to visit a lot more while it’s on the menu.

Went here this morning for a latte. The two lads working there gave excellent customer service. They were polite, attentive and very efficient. The coffee was lovely and hot and served with lovely chat. These two men should be rewarded for their excellent service and they both appeared to be enjoying their job. A few other staff in other Costa branches could learn a thing or two from these lovely chaps. Well done.

I'm a regular at this, my local Costa. Staff are excellent. The gals are friendly and professional - most importantly they know how to make lovely coffee. Problems - not because of the store's staff :- sometimes deliveries to the store are not in schedule 🤦leading to low stocks of cakes, sandwiches etc .... Some comments have noted *dirty tables* whatever. Sometimes the 2 on duty (occasionally even 1) can be overwhelmed for a few minutes with customers. However ask them to clear/clean your table and it will be done ASAP. Plus as soon as the short rush is over normal cleaning etc is done. The store and toilet ARE wheelchair (accessable).
